Want a Nano: will it work on a G3 with USB 1.1?

I am thinking of buying a Nano, but it's going to be used on a G3 iMac with USB 1.1.
Does this mean I can't connect it, or does it mean that loading songs will be slow?
If so, how slow?

Many people with older computers running 10.2.8 are using an iPod successfully. There are three issues. 1) you must be able to run the newest version of iTunes (which requires 10.2.8), 2) your syncs will be longer, 3) your USB port may not supply enough current to charge the iPod
Totally refilling a 4gb Nano with USB1 will take just over an hour. That might sound pretty bad but will you really swap out all 4gb at once? I generally swap out 3-4 CDs at a time which will take no more than about 5-10 minutes.
If you find your USB port doesn't charge the iPod you can purchase a powered hub for about $15-$20 or an iPod charger.

  • Nano will not work unless plugged in

    Hello.
    I have searched through the help section and through the forums, but I can not seem to crack this problem.
    My inlaws told me there iPod nano would not work anymore. They simply told me that they could not get it to come on. I thought I could fix it rather easy. Turns out that it isn't that easy.
    The nano will only work when I have it plugged up. It says it is fully charged. When I unplug the nano, the screen dims out for a second and then goes to gray as if it were off. I can not get it to come back on however. When it is plugged in, I can navigate through the nano as if there are no problems. As soon as it is unplugged however it acts dead.
    Any suggestions? I've tried resetting. Doesn't work unless plugged in...and didn't solve the problem. I've done the five r's. No problems with the hold button...
    I am lost on this one guys.

    I would say that it's a dud battery.
    You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

  • I have Wifi/3g CDMA Ipad. Want to know will it work in Pakistan except WIFI? if yes, then how?

    i have Wifi/3g CDMA Ipad. Want to know will it work in Pakistan except WIFI? if yes, then how?

    I do not believe that the iPad2 is locked to any carrier in any country.  Certainly in the USA the CDMA model is not locked to Verizon.  If there are CDMA providers in Pakistan that offer iPad data packages (and a quick google search indicates there are), then you should be able to sign up for service from one of them.
    Wifi is wifi anywhere, so if you have wifi in Pakistan it should work as it does anywhere else.
    P.S. Verizon has international roaming in Pakistan, but their rates look expensive, so if a local CDMA provider does prepaid or monthly data plans, that would certainly be cheaper I would think.
    Oops, that may be voice-only roaming for Verizon too, not data.

  • Will magic mouse work on Power G5 with USB bluetooth?

    I have a Power G5 Mac OS 10.5.8 and I really want to buy the magic mouse. However since I don't have bluetooth, will it work if I purchase a USB bluetooth? If anyone has done this, please let me know!

    Hi Maria, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    The Magic Mouse is wireless, and uses a Bluetooth 2.1 transceiver to communicate with Bluetooth-enabled Macs. It can connect to any Mac that has a Bluetooth module, either built-in or added via a USB dongle. In fact, that’s the approach I took. I used a Bluetooth dongle to connect the Magic Mouse to an older Mac Pro that is not equipped with Bluetooth.

  • I want AE+PP and brother wants PS. Will that work?

    I already have Photoshop CS5 and my brother wants it as well.
    I have the student edition, so he can't install it on his MacBook (I'm sure you get 2 or 3 codes with the full price version?)
    I'd like to get After Effects and Premiere Pro. So I thought we might as well get the Production Premium package. But I'm wondering, will it work if he installs Photoshop then lets me install After Effects and Premiere Pro? My friend said you can select which ones to install.
    We'd be getting the Student edition, meaning that you only get one code.
    Edit: Just read a few things. How about, I de-activate Photoshop on my Mac. Give it to my brother and then install Photoshop again from the Production Premium box? Will that work?

    Forgetting about how many activations you get with any Adobe product, you still only get one license. A secondary activation on non-student versions is only for use by the original licensee for a second system that they are personally using, such as a notebook used for travel versus a desktop system used in the office.
    In absolutely no situation may a student or educational edition of any Adobe software be given, lent, sold, or in any other way transferred to anyone other than the original purchaser who qualified at time of purchase for a student or educational edition.
    If your brother wants a copy of Photoshop, he needs to get his own copy. If we qualifies as a student, he is of course welcome to buy a student edition from an authorized Adobe reseller or via Adobe's web site. Note that your brother will be required to provide actual evidence of his eligibility for this discount. (See Adobe's web site for information about these requirements.) Otherwise, your brother should purchase a standard, retail copy of Photoshop.

  • I cannot pick up Wi Fi in the area of my house that is my office. For a windows laptop I use a plug in (to the mains electric)  booster which connects via the USB port. This will not work on MacbookPro as the USB will not recognise it. Why is this?

    Do I need the ethernet to thunderbolt adapter available at £25 from apple store? Will this work?

    Hi -before you go buying new cables, I would ask, is your booster only designed for Windows computers or does it have also have an installation setup with drivers for Macs - this could be why the Mac doesn't recognize it.

  • Hi I'm trying to install an HP C4180 printer as net printer through Alicegate router (Thompson technicolor). Printer works ok when connected with USB to Macbook air, but cannot be seen on the printer installation configuration. Mac OSx 10.7 (Lion)

    Hi folks.
    From this morning I'm trying to "see" an HP printer C4180 connected on the USB port of the wi-fi router (TIM Alicegate ADSL2 Wifi+N, manufacturer Technicolor).
    I installed latest drivers and checked everything is ok and works fine until printer is connected directly with USB to my Macbook Air.
    Then I connect the USB to the router and try to find the printer.
    On Alice help suggest to find it by ging to system preferences, then printers, add printer with "+", select "windows" sheet. There I can see - not always in reality, but sometimes - the "workgroup" in the left column, select, "alicegate" in second column, select, and here instead of finding the printer list there is a pop up saying that "the server version you are trying to connect to is not supported".
    Reading other forums, it may seem that the problem is Lion not yet supporting this kind of connection.
    Here a photo of the situation when the message occurs:
    Help..
    Thanks and regards

  • Nano will not work properly in my car

    I have a 4th generation Nano. I just got a new car, and the car has a USB port to plug my Ipod directly into the car, and you can control the Ipod from the car's stereo.
    The problem is, into every single song I play, after a few seconds, or a minute into the song, the song will stop playing, and the Ipod will switch to the next song. It always does this. I cannot find anything about it online for my car, or the car's owner's manual.
    Any ideas? Or has anyone else had this problem? Thanks.

    Are you burning audio CDs or MP3 CDs? If you're burning MP3 CDs, confirm that your car player can handle them; many cannot. If you are burning audio CDs, try a different brand of blank CD and see if that works better in your car.
    Regards.

  • IPod Nano will not work

    My daughter has had her iPod Nano 8GB for about 10 months and now it will only play when its attached to the computer. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?

    I guess you've tried the obvious - power down the pc, and then power back up (my pc sometimes shuts down the USB ports for no reason). Try connecting the one that won't work first, I've also experiences one ipod disabling another from connecting. Next try resetting the ipod (toggle the hold switch, then press middle and top buttons together for about 6 seconds).

  • I'm wanting to buy an iphone here in japan but i want to know will it work when i get back to the us

    No. There are no officially unlocked iPhones sold in Japan & there is no way to get any Japanese iPhone officially unlocked.
    Don't waste your money.

  • New Nano - will it work with firewire or usb 1.1?

    I have a g3 b&w with a 3g ipod (4 buttons and the wheel) hooked to firewire on the g3. This works great.
    I just bought a Nano and was wondering if the Nano could handle the same setup that I have been using successfully this past year-and-a-half with the other ipod or do I need to go out and buy a usb 2.0 card?
    G3 b&w with 3g ipod and a new nano   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I believe it was an Adaptec USB2connect 5100. I figured that if I was going to bother putting a card in, I wanted as many ports as I could reasonably afford. It comes with 6 USB ports, 5 external, 1 internal.
    This was a no muss, no fuss install. Open my Sawtooth, put in the card, closed it up, plugged everyhing in, it worked.
    I'm running 10.4.3, but the card should work just fine under 10.3.9. It uses the standard USB drivers that come with the OS. I didn't even have to install anything. It comes with a CD, but I believe that's for installing in a windows box.

  • Ipod nano will not work - keeps saying I cannot disconnect,

    I downloaded the I pod Updater 6-28-06. when I connected my ipod nano, the updater came up and stated that my ipod needed updating, so I hit the update button. After forever, nothing happened, but my ipod no longer works and all my music was erased from it. My ipod keeps saying not to disconnect, but I tunes does not even register that the ipod is connected.
    How do I fix this problem?

    That is a pretty good sign that the battery is shot and in need of replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee, sending it a third party repair company to have them swap it out for a little less, or you can even purchase a replacement battery and change it out yourself using one of the numerous guides found online.
